Multicentric reticulohistiocytosis with dermatomyositis-like features: A case report with dermoscopy and reflectance confocal microscopy findings.

ABSTRACT

Multicentric reticulohistiocytosis (MRH) is an insidious-onset, non-Langerhans-cell histiocytosis (NLCH) affecting the joints and skin. Early diagnosis is important to prevent destructive arthritis and disease-related complications. Reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM) is a technique that allows the visualization of the epidermis and superficial dermis noninvasively on a horizontal plane with quasi-histologic images of the skin. RCM features of NLCH including Rosai-Dorfman disease, adult xanthogranuloma (AXG), and juvenile xanthogranuloma (JXG) have been reported. However, RCM features of MRH have not been described previously. Here we present the RCM features of a case of MRH with dermoscopic and histopathologic features.
